I'm new to school nursing and was wondering if some of you could let me know how many students there are in your school and about how many kids do you see a day? This information was never gathered,...
I will be so happy to get it down to 20. We have a lot of new students coming in for the fall so I'm a little worried. I haven't even begun to tackle the administrative stuff yet I'm thinking of...
Wow! That's quite the system you have and I'm happy to read that you have administration 110% backing you up. This hasn't been the case where I am but I'm striving for that because they will...
"All bumps, bruises, tummy aches, head aches, and chronic pretenditis students got to sit or lay down in the office. So the frequent flier flock was bigger than I think most are. Once they figured out...
There's so many questions that I have because all of you are doing it. You're kind of in the range I am. Out of curiosity, do you input all immunizations, physicals, and do all the screenings? I was...

Thanks for the luck! I take home a copy of the daily log and the laptop so that I can do my notes. I can get through some of them throughout the day but between all the visits, calls to guardians...
Thanks! These are great tips! I did write up some guidelines based on what I have seen, this forum (thank you!!) and something else I found online that I will present tomorrow. Of course I have to...
Thank you halogh! This is going to be so helpful in my gathering information to bring forward. Where I am, there are 300 students and I see anywhere from 35-46 per day. I have spoken to a couple of...
WOW!!! I have already talked to admin about kids coming to use the nurse bathroom. I presented as I was not going to start one on one assisting naked kids and secondly, it was taking up so much time...
Hi everyone! Back with more questions. I'm sorry. There is a district nurse that is supposed to be around to help and hasn't called me. We scheduled a call for yesterday again and still no call. (...
Massachusetts is the state. We can delegate but right now we are having subs do it because I need to attend some type of training and then train the people I delegate to. There's nothing complex,...
